History Creator / SakaeEsuno

* {{Yandere}}: He had a significant effect on [[TropeCodifier the codification of this archetype]] with ''Manga/FutureDiary''[='s=] Yuno Gasai, the pink-haired knife nut with a [[MadLove mad crush]] on main character Yuki Amano. That said, she's very much an {{unbuilt|Trope}} example of the trope: her poor mental health is extremely plot-significant and Yuki's reaction to her is rather more realistic than in later examples--that is, he keeps her around mainly because he's more scared of their enemies than of her--and they eventually develop a more honest and mutual relationship after CharacterDevelopment. He created a second {{Yandere}} with ''Manga/BigOrder''[='s=] Rin Kurenai. Nanao Hibiya in ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'' is technically a third example, but Esuno only adapted the first three novel volumes and Nanao's {{Yandere}} tendencies don't start to become apparent until much later in the source material.

* RetCanon: While writing the ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'' manga adaptation, he originated the character design for Professor Luther Garland: Garland was only vaguely described in the novel text, and illustrator Creator/MiyukiRuria loved Esuno's version enough to adopt it as canon.

(He later drew another yandere who played with the trope in the source material, but his ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'' manga concluded after adapting volume 3 of the novels, before Nanao Hibiya's tendencies chronologically become apparent in the source.)
